Overall Evaluation
Overall, 056 is not pursuing complex of upscale armed configuration, it is only necessary to maintain the surface warfare and anti - aircraft defence of the basic ability, such is the most basic of offshore patrols, base defense and combat capability of the limited strength, while also allowing deletion in carrier - based helicopter capacity, its display, to the extent possible, simplifying the design to drive down costs and put the ship on more space to provide better habitability and holding force for a second Overall, 056 is not pursuing complex of upscale armed configuration, it is only necessary to maintain the surface warfare and anti - aircraft defence of the basic ability, such is the most basic of offshore patrols, base defense and combat capability of the limited strength, while also allowing deletion in carrier - based helicopter capacity, its display, to the extent possible, simplifying the design to drive down costs and put the ship on more space to provide better habitability and holding force for a second . responsible offshore patrol combat mission of the surface of the secondary ship is concerned, these are quite reasonable considering responsible offshore patrol combat mission of the surface of the secondary ship is concerned, these are quite reasonable considering .
compared to small, 037, 056 regardless of seakeeping,self - sustaining force and combat ability are multiple as compared to small, 037, 056 regardless of seakeeping,self - sustaining force and combat ability are multiple as Comparing to the A - type 054 frigate Jianghu class and even the original, smaller, shallower draught and is beneficial for use in shallow waters in the East China Sea, and the relatively low price of 056 can build more, so that the People's Liberation Army Navy to maintain a larger fleet of offshore operations;In this century, China and Southeast Asian countries over the islands in the sovereignty dispute and fiery, inshore battle of 056 Chinese navy's role becomes all the more obvious
056 probably does not employ any breakthroughs of new technology, but the coordination of the shipyard at the same time, on the second floor of this type of ship to the firms in technology upgrades, including design, production process and manufacturing process of the improvement and standardization), are also positive 056 probably does not employ any breakthroughs of new technology, but the coordination of the shipyard at the same time, on the second floor of this type of ship to the firms in technology upgrades, including design, production process and manufacturing process of the improvement and standardization), are also positive .
